Topic: Under The Table Alliances?

So uh, my fam is at war with another fam, and according to our co-leader, this has been posted on the forums. Now, when i built a fleet for the war, i'm getting attacked from 2 other families. One of them hits hard with figs, clearly looking to find a portal and destroy my figs.
Is there anything to be done about this? Someone told me that's an "illegal" alliance (one or 2 fam helping another fam in a war). Is that the case? And if yes, and all of the above mentioned are facts, what should i do? Thanks ahead big_smile

An illegal alliance is a prohibited activity, and can be subject to moderator intervention.  You can report the action to a moderator by using an IRC channel and contacting one in #mod.  A moderator will ask you further questions about the matter, and determine if sufficient evidence warrants an investigation.

Sometimes you might be too small for enemy attackers, so once you jump your fleet they could finally hit you, this could also be the case.

Re: Under The Table Alliances?

it could just be dumb luck. the fact that you (a) are in a war against (b) doesn't mean that (c) has to stop hitting you by the laws of the game. so long as fam b and c aren't working together knowingly then its not an illegal alliance.

No matter you are in a war, whenever you are about to jump your fleet make sure you jump enough to remove any enemy empire from your shares, or, if the enemy is too big, make sure you DON't jump enough to be in his range.

And by "enemy" I mean any other empire not in your family, and not only the ones you're at war, bekause any empire in this game is nd must be treated like an enemy.

Another useful hint: never leave your figs out, make sure you use them and then you hide them, by stationing them in your homeplanet (the one you start with) or by letting them 'in the air' hovering an enemy portal.

Hover > station to avoid destroy units

Nope they cannot DU on your home planet, but hovering an enemy portal is better because u can trigger it when u come online
